Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I know that I have a lot of birthday party recapping to do after this weekend, but that will have to wait until tomorrow because I have a fun and easy treat to share with a recipe just perfect for this holiday!

While I do have Irish roots somewhere back there, the family and I don't usually partake in any of the usual bits and pieces of celebration that go with today. This turns out to be especially true now with the whole Italian influx to the household, even though we go through a lot of potatoes regardless (usually in their version of Patatas Bravas, ironically a Spanish meal)! When they cook up the surprisingly healthy potato like this though, they go through a LOT of olive oil which (while it isn't bad in moderation) isn't GOOD for the waistline either! My recipe for "fries" uses the goodness of an egg white to make super-crisp, spicy wedges that go perfectly with my equally healthy and delicious recipe for crispy, lemony fish, which is what I'm going to pass to you now! Personally, I think it's better than the boxed kind, and I KNOW it's better for me since there isn't anything in them I can't pronounce! Enjoy your shamrock fests, everyone!
